To Gwyneth Paltrow,
facing a barrage of negative and anonymous Internet comments is almost akin to
dodging bullets or bombs in war.

The actress who recently "consciously
uncoupled" from her husband Chris Martin has often been accused of being
out of touch, and she may have outdone herself the day after Memorial Day when
speaking about how "our culture is trying to wrestle with the idea that
everybody has a voice, and how it’s unimportant and really important at the
same time."

“You come across [online comments] about
yourself and about your friends, and
it’s a very dehumanizing thing. It’s almost like how, in war, you go through
this bloody, dehumanizing thing, and then something is defined out of it,”
Paltrow said at a tech conference hosted by Re/Code. “My hope is, as we get out
of it, we’ll reach the next level of conscience.”

Paltrow said while the Internet provides
an "amazing" opportunity for people to "mature and learn,"
it "also allows us the opportunity to project outward our hatred, our
jealousy. It’s culturally acceptable to be an anonymous commenter. It’s
culturally acceptable to say, ‘I’m just going to take all of my internal pain
and externalize it anonymously.’”

“It’s taken me a long time to get to the
point where I can see these things and not take it as a personal affront and a
hurt. I see myself as a chalkboard or a whiteboard or a screen, and someone is
just putting up their own projection on it,” Paltrow added. “It has nothing to
do with me. They have an internal object, and they’re putting it on me. I kind
of look at it as, ‘Wow this is an interesting social experiment.’ You’re
talking about a blind stranger having feelings about you. It can only be
projection.”

She continued by reportedly saying, “We’re
in this very adolescent phase. It’s dangerous, [because] we lack the capacity
to say, ‘Why does this matter to me, and who am I in this?’ ‘Why am I having
opinions about Angelina Jolie’s operation?’ ‘What
is unhealed in me?’ ‘Why am I using the Internet to do this?’”

"Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men."- St. Augustine

"A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous, and then dismissed as trivial, until finally it becomes what everybody knows." -

William James

"This is the real task before us: to reassert our commitment as a nation to a law higher than our own, to renew our spiritual strength. Only by building a wall of such spiritual resolve can we, as a free people, hope to protect our own heritage and make it someday the birthright of all men." --Ronald Reagan

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."-- Edward Abbey

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."John Stuart Mill

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." ~~~George Washington

"I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University." William F. Buckley, Jr.

“A nation that substitutes emotion and empathy for rational thought will eventually digress into the Dark Ages,”Congressman Steve King (R-IA),

INTEGRITY: The highest courage is to dare to be ourself in the face of adversity. Choosing ethics over convenience and truth over popularity means there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They may be more likely to go to Heaven for good intentions yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.~ C. S. Lewis

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." ANON
